KALEO focuses on the Transformation aspects of the call of God for Christian leadership in the lives of junior and senior high school students. Implementation of the youth theology institute involves a two-stage process. It features a month-long immersion experience made up of three immersion spheres and three thresholds. After the one-month immersion experience, participants continue with a yearlong mentoring component.
